A tiger attacked an apiary guard in Primorye yesterday, just 12 kilometers from the village of Khvishchanka. A man was drawing water from a stream when a predator attacked him. The owner of the beekeeper ran out to the screams with a gun and started shooting in the air, but the tiger was not afraid and attacked him. As a result, two shots were fired at the tiger, after which the animal disappeared into the forest.
The injured man was hospitalized at the central regional hospital in the village of Kirovsky in a condition of moderate severity. Game wardens and police arrived at the scene to find the tiger and find out the reason for its aggressive behavior. The tiger may have been wounded before the attack.
